Wooden Tracks

2011-05 / Oregon, USA

I'm still trying to take the perfect photo of railroad tracks. This is my best attempt so far. You don't see many wooden tracks anymore, but out in the middle of nowhere, Oregon, you can find all sorts of relics. My father used to tell me stories of his youth and how he and his friends would place coins on the tracks and return the next day to find them flattened. I think of that every time I see some tracks like these. But the whole aspect of putting something on the tracks seems dangerous.
